So for the last 3 days I've been trying to go lucid. Last night I tried Jeff777s WILD technique along with the slight pain technique for an anchor. Sorry about the long read

At night when I was falling asleep about 30 minutes in I started getting SP counting up between slow breaths, I never got past 20 before SP started. Problem is I kept losing it sort of. I would do the slow breathing and count, I would start the feel the heaviness and some other stuff, my mind would become more aware at that point and then after it getting a bit more intense it would fade away. This happened 5 times and was really frustrating. I got really close on one, I tried to feel like I was walking into a dream world and it felt like I was moving through darkness a bit. Then I became aware of my breathing and the SP faded out after a minute. I got tired of doing it and went to sleep.

Woke up 4.5 hours later, stayed up for a minute, used jeff777s guide along with a dull pain anchor. Same thing happened with SP 2-3 times, so i decided to just use the pain anchor and go to sleep.

I was in a super vivid dream walking outside of a futuristic strip mall, lit up with hundreds of bright lights. It was night. I broke in and heard alarms, ran from the bank section of the strip mall to this chinese restaurant area. Through the window I say 2 cops riding these wierd looking bikes that were lit up and painted light blue/red. I smashed through one of the windows to get out, thats when I became lucid I think. All of a sudden I was in a huge mall probably 100x the size of the one before. The ceilings were about 100 feet up. I completely forgot to stabilize and tried to fly. I imagined being pushed and i was able to fly really quickly. Then i smashed into the ceiling fell to the ground. I then woke up and didnt recognize it was a false awakening. Woke up in my bed, found this cellphone near my bed that wasnt mine, and left to give it to that person. There were tons of things that looking back on should have told me it was a dream, so I dont know why I didnt go lucid.

Anyways. Anybody have similar problems with SP? I feel like im so close to walking into the dream world that its just annoying when i lose it. I dont know if getting SP as often as I am is uncommon?
